Recording artist, DJ, guitar player and singer, San Holo today announced the release of his next track: ‘brighter days’ ft. Bipolar Sunshine. ‘brighter days’ is an ode to the realization that “even though things sometimes don’t work out between people, life goes on and brighter days will come. While at the same time, we sometimes still wonder if that other person thinks about the past experiences you shared.” In addition to this, San will be performing on the main stage of Electric Zoo NYC tonight, where he will be performing the new single. ‘brighter days’ is the third single off album1.

San Holo describes working with Bipolar Sunshine on ‘brighter days’: “The first time I met Bipolar Sunshine we had a studio set up in the kitchen of an Airbnb. He came to our place and we started writing on the couch and outside, wherever, got some coffee…it felt very natural writing songs with him, we were very much on the same wavelength regarding lyrics. I’ve always loved the song he did for DJ Snake, “Middle.” I really love his songwriting and his voice, I love the fact that his voice is not so perfect and it’s got some rough edges. You can authentically hear that in the recording as well, the verses are not perfect, it’s not perfectly polished, but it sounds very unique and very much like him.”

album1 sees San stepping outside of his typical perimeters, further challenging himself by innovating his sound and most importantly, exploring his ability to stretch the boundaries of the EDM/future bass genres of music. Sonically, the album showcases a more mature San Holo, who has taken all his experience within the electronic music scene and now transformed it into a refreshingly new direction to further the EDM and future bass genres. San was completely hands on during the creation process of album1; from producing, mixing/mastering the album himself, to writing/writing all the lyrics on the album with the artists in the room. There’s not a single song on this album where the creation process took place over email. Instead, San spent a couple months holed up in an Airbnb in Echo Park, with close friends and feature artists coming in and out during that time

Tracklist:

Racking up 6 x platinum sales in his native Norway, widely acclaimed producer CLMD (aka Martin Danielle) has now delivered his huge new single ‘Trouble.’

Set for release on 2nd November, the track, a sweet slice of EDM-infused pop, serves as an ode to relationship break-ups, and follows the success of CLMD’s hugely popular hit ‘Dust’ feat. Astrid S, which has already amassed over 15 million Spotify streams.

“Trouble is really a song about how you’re drawn back into something you wanted to escape from or something that’s not good for you,”Martin explains. “Everyone knows how easy it can be to blame feelings you can’t control, and just follow stupid impulses, and ‘Trouble’ is about feeling at rock-bottom, but disguised as a feel-good song. I think most people can relate to it.”

Previously working as a mentor on the Norwegian version of ‘The Voice’, the highly acclaimed producer has also tasted international success across the globe, touring with Swedish House Mafia legend Steve Angello on his ‘SIZE Matters’ schedule. Named as ‘Norway’s finest’ by legend Pete Tong (BBC) he also received multiple spins on UK radio stations such as BBC Radio One, Kiss FM and Capital FM.

CLMD has previously built up an insatiable back-catalogue of both original productions, and reworks, tackling remix duties for the likes of Bruno Mars, Estelle, Nervo, and Arty.

“My journey the past couple of years has been incredibly educational for me as an artist”, adds CLMD.“I thrive as a musician when I’m in close contact with my emotions. In the end, I realized that I wanted to build an identity through my music.”

Representing his more melancholic side, whilst still maintaining his breezy signature sound, CLMD’s ‘Trouble’ is yet again ready to take the international dance scene.
